    From BG email:

    We’re moving you on to a great-value tariff we’ve agreed with Ofgem, so you can be confident you’re getting a good deal.

    Did anyone else who already left before 9th November receive the BG email as well?   Appears to be mass mailing the database instead of "live" customers only.

    Many did, BG already answered this elsewhere, it seems that tomato were not able to provide an up to date current customer list.
    Those already elsewhere should not be impacted though as the bulk transfer is not driven by the same list.

    @MWT link please

    My emails says otherwise.
    MSE website says:
    Once the transfer is complete, British Gas has said it's planning to offer an exclusive tariff to Tomato Energy customers.

    They can call it anything they like and it can still be the same as the SVT.  Octopus had 'exclusive' Avro tariffs* which were the same rates as the SVT, just called a specific name and only for Avro customers.  Maybe to make admin easier.

    *I don't know how they were marketed, whether they purported to give 'great value' or not.
